Although I had no idea where to even start when it came to sports like surfing, water skiing, or wake boarding, I was recommended to these guys by a family friend. After my first session, I was hooked not only on the sport and what I was learning, but also the experience I was given by Xander and Mason. I went back for lessons as much as I could throughout the entire summer because of how much I was learning and how much fun I was having. they have the best equipment, great prices, they know how to teach, and most importantly, they are a great time.

I have rented the 10' pontoon boat on a busy Saturday for a birthday celebration on the lake. The…read morereservation process online was easy and user friendly. After reserving I called beachside multiple times before the day of my rental with questions that may seem "stupid" and tedious to answer, the staff on the phone always took the time to answer genuinely and explain everything, I really appreciated that. On the day of our rental, we arrived and promptly guided into the office to sign some paperwork and then assigned a members of staff to help us. He took us on the boat, explained how to operate, do/don't, and even added some personal tips to enhance the experience. Everything was absolutely great, smooth, and easy. Thank you beachside and i can't wait to rent with you again!!

Extremely well-maintained and clean. This time one of my guests (I won't name names) lowered one of the boat's anchors, and it came untied. It sank to the bottom of the lake and we couldn't retrieve it. We were a little worried that we'd have to pay for it, but the staff at Beachside was extremely understanding and cool about it. Will definitely rent from Beachside again!

Fortunately, I have experience kayaking and didn't need instruction, but something to consider if you've not done this before.

I wanted to try Stand Up Paddle Boarding (SUP) for about forever…read more The concierge at the Abbey gave me a coupon for a discount rental at nearby Fontana Paddle so I decided to finally give it a go. It was an excellent decision. Rates are reasonable. They fit you with a flotation vest, changing rooms are available and they have small lockers. You do not want to have your smartphone on you in the event you fall in the water on the lake. It is better to lock it up, IMO. The training overview was pretty detailed and there is a lot to remember and coordinate all at once. I liken it to riding a bike or driving a car. Once you learn it, you'll always have it and it becomes normal/natural, until then, you have to remember to switch hands, stay balanced, etc. I did go out too far from where they told me to stay, but that was unplanned. A little wind and then a boat sent me even further out which resulted in my instructor dude coming out on board to see if I was okay and if I could get back in on my own. Embarrassing, but also super cool because he gave me some on water tips that I somehow already had forgotten. Also, the further out you go, the more the wind affects you and there are more boats, so you can expend more energy on balancing rather than paddling enjoyably along. Once my guy knew I was okay and headed more in the right direction he went back and I went on to a very enjoyable experience. Prices are good. Staff is helpful. Get out early on summer weekends, too many boats on the lake will not make for a good SUP experience.

A lot of my Rockford, IL friends kayak and have either friended them on facebook, visited the website or store itself. If you have any questions while you are there, which I always have plenty which I think some are kind of dumb, they are right there to answer them. I plan to take my family for lessons this Spring.
